HUTCHINSON, Kan. — Every time the Garden City Broncbusters would make a run, Hutchinson had an answer as the 23-7 (12-7 KJCCC) Blue Dragons defeated Garden City 72-65 at the Sports Arena on Wednesday night.
Hutchinson has already locked up the No. 4 seed and a bye for the upcoming Region VI Tournament but wanted to keep momentum heading into next week. The Blue Dragons did just that by winning their fourth league game in a row.
Hutch had to overcome a hot shooting Dayshawna Carter to get the win. Carter had 25 points for Garden City to lead all scorers. Carter had some help as Ariyah Brooks added 19 points for the Broncbusters as well.
The Blue Dragons were led by Morgan Browning's 19 points. Mya Williams added 12, Journey Armstead 11 and Kali Howard 10. Monae Duffy and Natalie Payne scored eight and Leata Te Nana-Williams came off the bench to score four.
Hutchinson will have a bye on Saturday, but will play in the Region VI quarterfinals beginning Tuesday, March 7, versus the Coffeyville Pratt winner of the No. 5 and No. 7 matchup.
